OK, The Blue Diamonds I bought myself. The other 4 I'm not really sure about, as my daughter got them wholesale for me. She works in a pet shop and can get them cheap direct for me.
They looked like browns at first with a bit of blue and red in them. But some are now showing marking like snake...
There are actually 6 discus in total in the tank, two of them are blue diamonds. They seemed to have split into there own groups now.
The blue diamonds stick together and don't really show much interest in the others, and them vice versa. It's as though the colour of them makes the other...
Here are 3 pictures of my 6ft display tank with 6 discus in it. But the tank is filtered by two large canister filters and also a large Huey Hung sponge filter (which has been expanded into 4 sponges), and have a powerfull twin outlet air pump running on full power also.

Another useful tip also, if you go bare bottom tank (which most discus keepers eventually do). To avoid possible water quality problems, so they can syphon all uneaten food away daily. Get some very small clay pots and some good nitrate removal plants. And put them in your bare bottom tank (only...
Well' I've seen this happen many times with my own discus. Put some new ones in and one might become the boss. But it usually doesn't last very long. Just had one of mine grow on fast compared the the other and take over things, but a week later it's not anymore really and two others are now...

I would never have an overflow any other way, because of...
Personally, I would say if you want a wet and dry filter. I'd say build your own trickle filter. As the ones on the market are quite expensive and don't offer much dry surface area in there filters. Unless you buy a ready made acrylic of the sheld trickle filter. Which are very expensive. And...
what do you think of these water changers, currently I use a very long piece of pipe to empty water from my tank straight down the drain, then I have some very long air tubing attached to my CBR2 pod to fill the tank back up with filtered water.
